LA signs up to PRIME

At Lees Associates, we believe that sustainable business is about more than just doing our thing for the environment and sponsoring charitable events.  To make a genuine difference at such an important time for our planet and our community, we have signed up to PRIME and have pledged to support and adhere to the PRIME Principles for sustainable business.

It is our intention that these six simple principles will come, in time, to serve as the backbone upon which our business is built, empowering our colleagues and ensuring that our families and children will be able to enjoy the fruits of our labours in generations to come.

Those Principles are:

• Being Environmentally Better;

• Embracing Sustainable Innovation;

• Spreading the Word;

• Delivering Impact;

• Making a Difference; and

• Being Accountable.

We have received our first moderated Official PRIME Score of 9. This shows we are on the right path but there is a long way to go! We have already started to look at ways that we can act upon our intentions, and will use our first score as a benchmark against which to measure our progress.

The PRIME Principles do not offer a ‘set and forget’, or ‘checkbox’ opportunity for us to show off our sustainability credentials.  By their nature, they are tough, and achieving a high score is not going to be easy.  We absolutely aspire, however, for each of these six Principles to become pervasive within our culture as a business, and will strive to make that so.
